Mass Effect Q&A

Coming from the EA Games Studio Showcase, videogaming247 asked Ray Muzyka about the sex scene in Mass Effect. The full interview is available in audio.
Speaking to videogaming247 at yesterday's EA Games Studio Showcase in London, BioWare boss Ray Muzyka said the studio was (happy) and (proud) of the sexual content of Mass Effect, saying its inclusion was tasteful and showed the RPG was an innovator in the field of games as an emergent art form.

(It's the same content, just in higher resolution,) he said of the alien sex scene in the PC version of Mass Effect. (So it looks really good, right? We're happy and we're proud of the content that's in the game. We think it's appropriate for the rating the game has it's a '˜mature' rated game. It's tasteful and it's not gratuitous. It's actually adult-themed content of relationships, mature relationships that are very realistically depicted and actually very appropriate as well, and very emotionally impactful.)
